What are the minimum expectations for 2015

[TheCusian]

8 wins. and a bowl game for 9. or See Ya!!! id like to play michigan in the Pinstripe.

This AD won't be buying out a guy with a winning season...

London can recruit but his coaching ability is questioned. He has gotten at least one if not two top 25 recruiting classes to C-ville. At least your fanbase knows their is talent on the roster. I couldn't believe your AD gave London the 2015 season before the VPI game. However, your explanation about the President and AD change being imminent gave London a reprieve.

We at Syracuse have said we have overscheduled for our team. UVA has to have a west coast campus with games at UCLA, Oregon, Boise State upcoming in the next 3 years. I saw UVA got a 5th yr transfer from UNC that should be interesting.

And Stanford, too, 2017-18. Ms. Hoo's That and I took Hoo's That, Jr., to see The Farm this past summer. I will be super, duper bummed out if that series is cancelled because I'm aiming to go to the '18 game there.

Is that Brooklyn Decker in your avatar or is that another shot of Arias?

Arias?

 

[Macky44]

3 wins. Today sucked too hard

Set the bar as low as possible..you will never be let down.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Set that one up nicely, I see.

 

[CanadianSU]

6

Or else I'll fire him...

 

[wfschrec]

Arias?

Yeah didn't your avatar have a shot of Jodi Arias at one point?

Unless you are trying to limbo ... just saying

We have the money the question is whether the Administration wants to spend it on football and while the academic people are hammering down on the Chancellor.

If they're not willing to spend the money, they'll get what they pay for: mediocrity.

 

[cuseguy]

I agree with Bees, a bowl game should be the expectation. My god their are like 40 of them. That being said I would be shocked if we get there. I would also say the HCSS will get a 4th year because Im not convinced that SU is committed to P5 football

Yet we supposedly joined the ACC to save our football program.

Hmmm.

 

[chugg21]

Bowl game or move on from Hard Nosed football for me.

 

[Chip]

Has to win at least 7 in my mind. No worse than 4-4 in the league, and have to go 3-1 against our OOC schedule. Have to beat BC, Pitt, Wake and either @NC State or @UVA. Assuming we won't steal one from Clemson, @FSU, @Louisville. And won't steal LSU.

We might as well start the coaching search now.

Well color me incorrect LOL ... now you have me wondering.

 

[sherrillcuse]

My expectations for next season are a minimum of 6 wins and something that looks like an actual offense...

 

[tep624]

3 wins. Today sucked too hard

Today was irrelevant.

 

[007]

Minimally, I expect a lot of pain; and more pain; and a lot of new faces playing; a lot of podium pounding; and a lot of "gosh damn it, i'm excited as hell to see these kids fight the good fight and see where this thing goes." Maybe, just maybe, it could snowball into something...

The reasonable minimal expectation, in my mind, should be a Bowl game. But, unless the AD is gone, I don't expect SU to spend the money to buy SS out of his 4th year, even if he does fall short of "minimum."

 

[Scooch]

I remember when we fired coaches for only winning 6 FBS games. Now we throw a ticker tape parade when they do it.

I miss the 90s.

I'd hope the short list is being prepared.

which leads us back to...the AD.

It already is. Montgomery, Hamilton. I wouldn't mind Hackett but that's probably not tenable. 43, 40, 35 respectively. High level experience, performance, private school background, highly productive offenses.

Second tier, Holliday and McNeil. Why second tier, I'd prefer we get younger guys at this point.

How about Scott Pioli?

I think 5 is the ceiling, maybe 6 in Kool Aid land.

4 is very likely and I can't imagine 3 really happening but it won't surprise me if it does.
